The Stunned Hero Manga Pauses Production Due to Artist's Health
Fans following The Stunned Hero and the Assassin Princesses will need to brace themselves. Artist Yukiji Setsuda is taking a hiatus due to health reasons, pausing production on the popular fantasy series. This is tough news for any manga creator, and a stark reminder of the immense pressures artists face.
The manga, known for its unique take on the "stunned hero" trope alongside a cast of dangerous princesses, launched in October 2022. Setsuda has been collaborating with writer Norishiro-chan on the series, which quickly carved out a niche in the crowded fantasy genre. We wish Setsuda a swift and full recovery. The manga world eagerly awaits their return.
